That's because nobody has ever gotten one to give out. Tbh, i heard something very similar 6months ago, about froyo. Hence the reason I won't get my hopes up. But, the only thing that makes me wonder about this is the new google alliance that says they want to keep phones up to date for 18months minimum. Theoretically, they can skip froyo and go straight to gb... It would be odd, but it can be done. Especially since I know froyo was built, since I'm running a leak of it now.

After hearing all the issues the fascinate had with the froyo upgrade it makes sense to just skip to gingerbread instead of dealing with froyo issues.

That's the thing. There are no real issues with this. And believe me, when it's stock odex with bloatware intact, it's the full thing. It's like it was made and readyvto go. Verizon just never bought it.

motorola droid 2 global,forced to download 4.5.608 syst.vers. android 2.3.3,not sure what it was before cuz i never had a problem w/it.now i have 50 bloatware apps. 4 alone are maps,phone is not working as well as before the update and there are way too many problems to list ,im new to all this sorry

I really wish that Verizon would get their heads out of their rear ends and get the updates rolling out. And they wondered why this phone didn't make as much of a splash as they hoped it would. Its very disappointing that such a great phone with a lot of potential gets screwed over because Verizon doesn't want to release even the 2.2 update that has been sent to them from Samsung. Pathetic.
